Analysis of the product showed it to-contain 15.48%oxygen, which corresponds to 41.6% butyl hydrogen maleate and 58.4% ethylene and to an, ethylenezbutyl hydrogen maleate mole ratio of 86:1. The inherent viscosity of the product was 0.26. Films pressed at C. were clear, tacky, and rubbery.
The methyl and ethyl hydrogen maleates used in the examples were made by Warming maleic anhydride with a 10% excess of the alcohol on a steam bath until solution was complete and an exothermic reaction had set in. The octadecyl hydrogen maleate was made similarly, except that a 5% excess of the alcohol was used. After reaction had subsided, heating was continued for about 15 minutes longer.
In the preparation of the polymeric polyacids of this invention there can be used any monoester of butene-1,4dioic acid or monoester of a hydrocarbon substituted butene-lA-dioic acid conforming to the general formula:
in which R is hydrogen or a monovalent hydrocarbon radical containing up to 18 carbon atoms, such as, alkyl, aryl, cycloalkyl, or aralkyl groups, e. g., methyl, ethyl, propyl, octyl, decyl, phenyl, tolyl, xylyl, 1 benzyl, cyclohexyl, methylcyclohexyl, and the like and R is a monovalent hydrocarbon radical containing up to 20 carbon atoms, such as, methyl, ethyl, propyl, octyl, dodecyl, octadecyl, eicosyl, benzyl, menthyl, cyclohexyl, and the like.
The preferred monoesters because of their availability and ease of preparation are those of maleic and fumaric acids, and of these the most useful from practical considerations are the alkyl hydrogen maleates and fumarates such 'as methyl, ethyl, amyl, octyl, dodecyl, and octadecyl hydrogen maleates and fumarates.
Although the polymeric polyacids of this invention can be made in the absence of a solvent or diluent, the use of such solvents or diluents constitutes the preferred practice because better control of the reaction is obtained thereby. The most useful solvents are those which are capable of functioning as chain transfer agents. The alcohols constitute an especially useful class of 'chaintransfer agents. Examples of alcohols usepreferred group of reaction media because of their effectiveness as chain transfer agents.
In the preparation of the products of this invention, there can be used as a catalyst any compound capable of yielding unstable free radicals under the conditions of reaction. Examples of such compounds are azo compounds of the type disclosed in U. S. Patent 2,471,959, such as, alpha,alpha' azobis (alpha,gamma dimethylvaleronitrile), and dimethyl and diethyl alpha,- alpha' azodiisobutyrate, l,1'-azodicyc1ohexanecarbonitrile, etc., azines, oximes, amine oxides, peroxy compounds such as organic peroxides, peroxy salts, hydroperoxides, percarboxylates, etc. Examples of such compounds are benzoyl peroxide, diethyl peroxide, tertiary butyl pentamethylpropyl peroxide, di(tert.-butyl) peroxide, sodium, potassium, and ammonium persulfates, tertiary butyl hydroperoxide, ethyl hydroperoxide, benzalazine, diphenyl ketazine, hydrazine hydrochloride, acetoxime, camphor oxime, trimethylamine oxide, etc. Combinations of two or more of these catalysts can be used if desired as can also combinations of the per compounds with a reducing agent.
The concentration of catalyst can be varied over a wide range, for example, within the range of 0.1 to by weight of the monoester of the butene-1,4dioic acid. As a rule amounts of the order of 1 to 6% by weight of the monoester of the butene-1,4-dioic acid are used because products of the desired molecular weight range are thereby obtained in good yields at practical rates of reaction.
In the preparation of the polymeric polyacids, pressures ranging from slightly above atmospheric up to 3000 atmospheres and above can be used. Generally, however, pressures of from 600 to 1500 atmospheres are used because this combines a proper balance of simplicity of equipment and good reaction rate.
The polymerization of the ethylene with the monoester of the butene-1,4-dioic acid can be effected at temperatures ranging from 0 to 250 C. Because good reaction rates and yields of desired product are obtained at temperatures of from 80 to 150 0., this constitutes the preferred operating temperature range.
The polymeric polyacids of this invention contain from 7 to 40 moles of ethylene per mole of butene-1,4-dioic acid monoester. Of these products the most useful are those whose inherent viscosities range from 0.05 to 0.35.
The products of this invention are useful in a diversity of applications, such as slip agents for regenerated cellulose film, anti-abrasion agents in photographic emulsions, insolubilizing agents for dyes, intermediates for chlorosulfonation, water-repellents, plumping agents and lacquer fin ishes for leather, carbon paper ink, hair curling agents, binders for ceramic finishes on glass. detergents for non-aqueous systems, water-repellents for fabrics pre-treated with polyamines, etc. They are particularly useful as components of wax dispersions. This use is exemplified below.
A dispersion was prepared by melting together 7.5 grams of the polymeric polyacid of Example VI, 2.5 grams of microcrystalline paraflin wax melting at 91 to 93 C. adding to the blend 2.3 grams of morpholine. and then adding water slowly with stirring. Films of the dispersion cast on glass plates were clear and glossy.
Although in the above preparation the morpholine salt has been used, it is to be understood that in place thereof there can be used ammonia. or any other basic amine such as pyridine, quinoline, propylamine, di-n-butylamine, di-Z-ethylhexylamine, alkanolamines, e. g. mono-, di-, and triethanolamines, dimethylaminoethanol, aminoethylethanolamine, triisopropanolamine, etc.
The polymeric polyacids are especially useful as components of polishing waxes of the emulsion type to improve the scuff resistance, gloss, and water-spotting resistance of films cast from such emulsions. These properties can be further improved by subjecting the polymeric polyacid to a partial hydrolysis treatment prior to incorporation into the wax emulsion composition.
The leveling properties of such wax emulsions can be improved by including a water-soluble alcohol in the composition. Ethyl, isopropyl, isobutyl, and tertiary butyl alcohols are especially useful for this purpose.
As many apparently widely different embodiments of this invention may be made without departing from the spirit and scope thereof, it is to be understood that this invention is not limited to the specific embodiments thereof except as defined in the appended claims.
